EDINBURG NOTES.

pleasantness. Many were in attendance
from this place. all of whom express
themselves as having very pleasant and
nice time Fred. and Hen. didn't get back
till late in the morn, hope they didn't get
into the garden, or any other mischief.
By request of the managing committee,
we hereby express and return the thanks,
sincerely, of the school and community,
TO the Edinburg Cornet Band for the very
excellent music rendered, for their cordial
generosity extended, and the unanlmity OF
general good feeling caused to prevail
throughout the entire ente rtainment of
the evening.
The Jolly and handsome Andrew Jack
son Marston, has at last fallen a victim
to wiles Of Cupid after going unscathed
through more perils from the fair sex than
any man that ever lived Hardly belle
that has appeared upon the matrimonial
market of Edinburg during the last
twenty years but has made an attempt
upon Andy, each one in turn thinking
she would be the happy and lucky one to
secure this grand prize in the lottery Of
marriage. But Andy only courted for
amusement, and at the last moment would
slip through the meshes leaving each
beauty in turn with an aching heart and
disappointed hopes. But the pitcher has
gone to the well just once to often, and
the gallant but tickle A. J. has at last
been led captive by the charms Of the
fascinating Miss Mollie Jordan. On Tues
day night the Rev. D. II. Rhodes united
the happy couple in the bonds Of matri-
mony. May their voyage DER LIES sea
be a long, calm and happy one.
The temperance lecture delivered IN
Edinburg by Mrs. Goodale on Tuesday
evening of last week, and by Mr.. Tatun
on the following Sabbath evening were
well attended.
Mrs. Goodale won many friends by her
quiet, affable manners and the way in
which she presented the subiect-which
she has so much at heart Among the
good results of her coming waD the ad-
dition of dozen or more new members TO
the W. IT. U. society of this place.
Mr.. Tatum's lecture was also listened to
with marked attention, and many were
the remarks of approval Of one OF his
wears entering upon such an important
work, and for this reason, well deserves
the support of all Christian people. There
is a growing interest manifested on this
subject at present in this place, as there
well should be on the part of a people
who would have their village a quiet,
orderly and law-abiding place, instead of
the ill-behavior, foul language, and dis
gushing scenes so frequently seen and
heard of late, caused by the increased
| number Of barrels Of whiskey and crates
\ of beer which come into the place.
In your Edinburg notes of last week
appeared the statement that Mrs. w. II.
Evans and five children, Of Springfield,
! Ohio, who were visiting relatives here,
had been called home by telegram stat
| ing that her husband had met with a
serious accident. We since learn that
Mr.. Evans, who has shoe store in that
city. fell while getting some article from
a shelf, and striking on an iron safe brok
several of his ribs one of which penetrat-
ed the lung causing his death in short
time. Mr.. Evans was native Of Edin-
burg, being a son of Mr.. Jos. W. Evans
He married here, his wife being sister oil
Mr.. Joseph Downey. He moved from here
to Springfield, Ohio, ten or twelve year,
ago, where he built up large business
the result of his skill as a workman, bust
ness energy and answering integrity and
honesty. His death has caused feeling
Of profound sadness in his adopted home
where he was most highly respected anC
esteemed. Here, in the home OF hi
birth. the blow has fallen with peculiar
force, and the deepest, heartfelt sympathy
of the entire community goes out to hi
truly hereaved widow and orphan chill
dren.
Mr.. Evans was a prominent member o
many secret orders, seven Of which par
ticipated at his funeral. The Knights 0
Pythias had charge Of the body. He wa
a consistent member Of the Disciple
Church. and Rev. w. Dowley conducte'
the funeral. He leaves besides his wife
, five children, all girls, the Oldest fftee
wears Of age.
